good video again heather, I remembered many years when I have started this hobby I was in my fifteen and I see you trying the best products possible and helping people to make cars amazing, now, I made cars look like the art I hope in the future you make it, for me still I m doing I am 50 years old and every time I put my passion on any car and transform in art, heather always follows your dream and good luck.
Your videos just get better and better every few months Heather, I will be adding some of these ideas to my arsenal for sure especially that tyre wall brush, it seems perfect
I used to always use the microfibre style pads and mitts shown in your video but then I read the article by Pro Detailer Magazine who did a test of all wash media and found the noodle ones to be the safest for your paint so I switched over to them.
So many things to upgrade too these days, it’s too know when to stop sometimes, my favourite upgrades are a spotless water system, Kranzle pressure washer, and the blow dryer
Good list... the only one i would diagree with you on is the ik sprayer... seems like yours is working great mine was a hunk of junk.. i moved onto a battery pump sprayer by solo... no more pumping
I agree, my IK foamer was a disappointment, hardly foams up for when I use it on my alloys. I have a Spear and Jackson 5L spray bottle that I use as a citrus prewash works a treat.
Really enjoyed watching this after your bare essentials video. I got into car detailing about a year ago, although I am not keen on spending money unnecessarily, I am definitely not on a budget, but it was good to see what you consider doing the job perfectly well and then what would be an improvement on it. I do agree on the Karcher hose upgrade. I hate having to move it and the electric cable! I also love the tyre and wheel brushes!
I've only gone a subscribed what a video . All the things I've been looking for in 1 place . Well done hun keep up good work. I'm trying to find a hose for my jet wash 😩 but not having much look as like you my hose just tangled up and does my head in . But I'm going to look around and I defo need to get rid of that big lance I've got as the smaller one looks way better to handle. Thank you .
Thanks very much! I'd definitely recommend switching the hose and going for the short trigger, I couldn't go back to the original ones now! I've popped some links to everything in the description that I'm using :)
The best product I've found so far is Carpro Ech2o. I don't always have access to a hose so I use 40ml in my rinse bucket. Offers me absolutely streak free drying, which I'm not able to get otherwise. Works great on a baking hot car, so it's just priceless for me.
All solid recommendations 👍🏻 Upgrading the hose and the gun were absolute game changers! I’d love to get some sort of blower, I can imagine that being mega useful
Hi Heather. Great video, agree with pretty much all your recommendations. I would also recommend having a closer look at the Gyeon products like the new Wax, Can Coat, Quick View and Leather Shield.
Cheers John :) I'm very tempted to get some of that wax it looks brilliant. I've not tried many Gyeon products to be honest so I need to grab some more
Another great video that will probably cost me money. I have most of these products and I recently had to replace that plastic hose on my K5 but I got an upgrade from the Karcher service Centre 5 miles away it is 10M long and barely ever kinks. The best upgrade I have ever bought. You might have sold me on the C4 but having recently bought a new one to try it may be a while. The other temptation was the foam cannon but having 3 already it seems a waste but it does have a wider opening and base the two things that drive me potty with my ones. Thanks again.
I would agree with most of thous upgrades, for me the biggest change was my first Kranzle and OG spec trigger gun. I now have another Kranzle with a 15M hose. I am sure many people are now looking at County Detailing and In2detailing for upgrades following your advice.
Hey 👋 randomly came across your channel- love your review format very informative without the technical bs you get from some other channels- could you do something with silver cars Im struggling to find a decent polish / sealant I’m happy with - cheers 🥂
Thanks very much! I'll see what I can do! If you're looking for something glossy, the Garage Therapy Ceramic Sealant and Sigma are both great. The Ceramic Sealant is more durable (4-5 months) but Sigma is a bit quicker to apply and lasts around 6-8 weeks for me
Agree with all those, once you have them just can’t go back. Except the blower I haven’t bite the bullet yet, I know the neighbours already think I’m mad but if I start giving the car a blow dry that’s a whole other thing 😂
Nice selections there Heather, with you ref windscreen coatings but im very limited on time so stick to using AM rain sealant, does the job well for what I need but next upgrade for me will be a large pump up foamer as I don't have a outside tap where i live and feel just applying citrus prewash to my daily once a week isn't sufficient when using a snow foam on top would. Hope your well.
Thanks very much Phil, hope you're well too :) I was really interested in the Carbon Collective battery powered foamer until I saw how expensive it was I just couldn't justify it! The pump ones do a great job for the price
Get 4 18mm plywood boards for when you are working on gravel. Just put them in front of the wheels and roll forward a little. Will make cleaning and dressing tyres easier
Well thought out video, had use of the tyre dressing applicator last week really useful tool. Think i might need to upgrade my blower from a mini, does take quite a bit of time to get the car done. I also used the Pyramid Ceramic Pro last week, quite a nervy experience following the steps to try and get it right.
Cheers Ian :) I know what you mean, applying a ceramic is quite nerve wracking but I actually found the Pyramid one easier than most sealants/ waxes so I can relax a bit more next time!
An other great video Heather! I remember those days, where you haven't used an IK pump sprayer just yet, and how it changed your approach after your investment. Basically the same applies for every upgrade you have mentioned, and this video is jam packed with useful information to everyone. Those upgrades you showed and not in my arsenal just yet, are already on my shopping list for future upgrades. But the ones I have, couldn't "live without them" either. 😅 keep it up 🙌
Cheers Viktor! I’m looking forward to listening to the new podcast episode btw, really enjoyed the first one so I reckon it’ll be a good choice for tomorrow’s wash!
Some great ideas for upgrades Heather. I really need bite the bullet and buy a quick release short trigger! The tyre dressing brush looks good too. Have you had any wiper judder with the Pyramid glass coating?
Cheers Steve! Honestly you'll not regret getting a short trigger! Nope I've never had any judder with the coating. It's dead important to prep the glass well though, I think if it's applied over any water/ soap stains and it's not completely clean then I can imagine it getting judder. I'd recommend giving it a quick polish with CarPro Ceriglass or using a water spot remover if the car is fairly new before applying it :)
I’m looking to upgrade my hose pipe for the pressure washer, I’ve only just discovered this is possible. Especially when you end up battling with detangling and de kinking the hose pipe majority of the time.
Some good upgrades Heather. Like you I haven't applied a ceramic coating to my car but I have given my wheels a coating of Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour. Well worth giving it a consideration.
Cheers Martin :) I'm not too keen on these stock alloys to be honest so I've been holding off coating them but if I get some aftermarket ones it looks like C5 would be well worth the investment!
Good video Heather, i have most of them but have always struggled with wheel brushes. and have bought loads in the past. i like the look of that Mammoth Woolly Wheel Wand & would be grateful if you could give me some indication of what size gap the would get into because my Discs & Callipers are soo big..👍🏻
Cheers Alan! The wheel wand is brilliant, it's the only thing I've found that'll fit between the brake disk guards on my car. It compacts to about 3-4 cm so I'd say if the gap is around 5 cm or more to give it a bit of clearance then you should be good to go!
Hi Heather, I tried the wheel wand today for the first time & it’s brilliant. I was able to 100% clean my rear wheels & about 90& of the front. It’s the first time that I have been totally happy with the wheels since I first bought the car. I also bought a new wheel mitt even thought I have the GT wheel mitt & a Dooka Osha. The GT mitt is just not flexible enough for my wheels & the Dooka is very soft but kept slipping off my fingers. My new mitt is a Dodo Juice Captain Crevice fingered mitt. ( that’s a truly horrible name). It is absolutely perfect for my needs, extremely soft & flexible & gets into all the nooks & crannies with ease.. I thoroughly recommend both & thank you for you input & advice .
@@alantaylor2 I'm really glad you like the wheel brush! I was the same when I first used it, nothing else was really cutting it for my wheels as the only other type of brush which worked was the EZ/ bristle style ones which feel a bit too harsh and unnecessary considering my wheels never get too bad! I'll have a look at that mitt too, thanks for the recommendation!
@@AutoCareHQ I agree Heather, the EZ brushes do reach into nearly everything but i think they will scratch delicate wheels especially Matt black due to the amount of pressure needed to clean grubby wheels.. I personally have never got good clean wheels using them as i don't think they hold enough suds/liquid. Ok for professional detailers or for someone else's car. The Dodo Juice mitt was a surprise for me because it looked too big to be effective & i have very small hands but it was far better than mitt/wash media i have used despite buying many..
I recently spent a small fortune (as budget minded as possible) on a pressure washer, upgraded hose, and quick connects, and an MTM gun and foam cannon. The dryer and that tire dressing applicator would be next on my list, but spent enough this season and I haven't been able to use any of it yet😂😔 Thanks for sharing
Thanks for another great video Heather. Couldnt agree more on every upgrade there, iv done pretty much the same. Next upgrade I think will be the nice stainless nozzles.
@@AutoCareHQ they are owned by IODetail if I am correct. They have the same address on companies house and are in Liquidation. They folded owing over £300,000 to suppliers (including Imran at in2detailing) and HMRC. All fair enough if they simply are incompetent. But then they announced last week a "relaunch". Unacceptable in my opinion and they should be ashamed of their actions.
@@iancollins2325 I've not done anything new since August last year. To be honest the lack of growth was really getting me down, and the input vs reward just wasn't where I wanted it to be. Never say never, I do still maintain a large list of topics that haven't been done yet. 😁
Hiya, great video - thanks. I am a complete novice and was already looking at bilt hamber auto foam. What would be your recommended budget snow foam canon? I defo want one!! Also re windows I was thinking of Turtle 51783.. thoughts? Thanks again :) Something satisfying about watching a car get cleaned!!
Nice choices. I used to watch forensic detailing who gave me product ideas. There's a company called slims detailing near to me which sell good brands of cleaning products so go there and save money on delivery
Good video & upgrades...funnily enough I actually got the karcher longer hose kit (not stubby gun though) and is a game changer lol...also the mjjc snow foam is the best out there! :)
I have similar upgrades all purchased within tge last 10 months 1. Pressure Washer upgrade from 140 bar to 180 bar 2. Short trigger gun 3 ik foam Pro v2 4. Ez alloy Brushes large and small brush 5. Detail guards hose slides 6. Glaco compound and glass sealant 7. Mjjc snowfoam lance 8. Flex xce cordless machine polisher 9. Colour snowfoam concentrate by koch chemie Things I want 1. Super power cordless and compact Car blower (still reseaching) 2. Tyre dressing vrush similar to yours but more slimmer for thin profile tyres (still reseaching) 3. Gazebo for machine polishing (waiting for a deal) 4. Quickjack (saving up) 5. Custom lance on wheels to do underbody rinse (reseaching) 6. Thick shampoo I can spray through lance so I don't need to do 2 bucket wash (have my eyes on chemical guys sticky snowball that might do tge job but yet to be released in uk)
@@AutoCareHQ tjanks for the heads up , just watched your video on the shampoo seems very slick , what it like through a lance ? I didnt see any shots of it through a lance in your video.... does it come out foamy like snowfoam?
I'm using it on the video next Sunday actually but yep it's pretty foamy at that dilution. It's not super thick but it clings enough to get around it with the mitts
@@AutoCareHQ that's sound perfect , I tried bilt hamber shampoo in a lance and it was terrible!! too watery and zero cling and that was a higher dilution rate compared to using it in a bucket , I look forward to your video next week in the meantime keep detailing 🔥😎💪🏾
Thanks for giving it a listen! It's going really well, the darkening effect is very impressive and the water repellency looks really strong. I've got it on a few panels of my car atm so just gonna keep monitoring it, but so far so good :)
Do you get marks from water running from the seal around the mirror seal where it connects to the car door on your mx5 . Looks like I might need to invest in a blower dryer
@@AutoCareHQ ok thank you, as I already have a longer flexi hose and stubby for the karcher, buying any other washer make means replacing that as well which is more expense
I've only tried their foam cannon and pH neutral snow foam but I haven't properly tested it though for cleaning power because I just used it over a citrus. Are there any products in particular you'd recommend?
@@AutoCareHQ their citrus pre wash is as good and any I’ve used, but if I were to pick one go to product it would be fusion spray and rinse sealant, it’s a product that detailing and the beast gave a good review of too. If your going to get some wait till their regular sales are on, can get 500ml for £7.50 ish
Same problem with the Nilfisk hoses, absolute garbage. The cheapest upgrade I've found is 70 odd quid, nearly a third of the cost of the machine. Next machine will be an AVA.
@@AutoCareHQ I knew you were a decent person...but now you're also from God's county too..... you're elevated to an even higher level 😊😊😊... us Red Rose's need to stick together
Great video! Thank you for sharing. You are very beautiful, by the way, if you haven't already been told this thousands of times. Even if you have, it still holds true. Haha.
How i wish there is a detailing shop nearby our place like yours heather.. even if i would like to order from amazon or any.. the shipping would cost me more.. 😰😰😰
No matter how much you spend on car detailing products your car will not stay clean under normal conditions especially tyre dressings as your tyres are in contact with the road and get dirty quickly. Cars only stay shiny if you have them off the road, under cover in a garage etc & don't bother driving them. I learned many years ago that no matter how long you spend cleaning your car, it won't stay clear for long.

Only a detailer is proud of their hose upgrade, I love it!
I love your videos they are so helpful and I like the way you link everything in the description and add other video links . Great work !

Thanks very much Jorge! 😊
I agree, my best upgrade was the IK sprayer. It doesn’t stay pressurised as long as I thought it would but still better than trigger sprays
Your videos just get better and better every few months Heather, I will be adding some of these ideas to my arsenal for sure especially that tyre wall brush, it seems perfect
Thanks Steve I appreciate it!
I used to always use the microfibre style pads and mitts shown in your video but then I read the article by Pro Detailer Magazine who did a test of all wash media and found the noodle ones to be the safest for your paint so I switched over to them.
Another great vid 👌For me I upgraded to a Ava of Norway pressure washer last year for the 20 year warranty and have been blown away by it
Cheers Craig! The Ava pressure washers look brill
another great video Heather, will definitely be looking at the hose
Thanks Nigel!
Thank you Heather, I find your product recommendations excellent.
Thanks for watching Steve!
Just purchased the Carscope tyre brushes 👍
I love your videos. very informative and straight to the point. Love from the 🇵🇭
Thanks very much!
Good review a few things I’m interested there like the ik sprayer and tyre applicator
Cheers Rob! The IK sprayer is must have for me. The tyre brush is definitely a bit of a luxury but it’s very good quality
The hose and stubby gun are defo the biggest for me Heather👍 Only got a stubby a few weeks ago tho 🤣🤣
Should of done it ages ago 🤣🤣
So many things to upgrade too these days, it’s too know when to stop sometimes, my favourite upgrades are a spotless water system, Kranzle pressure washer, and the blow dryer

Cheers Rodney!
All solid recommendations 👍🏻
Upgrading the hose and the gun were absolute game changers!
I’d love to get some sort of blower, I can imagine that being mega useful

Very nice range of upgrades Heather. The IK Foamer is a very good upgrade to, not sure if I've seen you use one or not.
Thanks for watching Paul 😊 yep I got it before the Sprayer actually, it’s really good! I use it on my car mostly with the GT wheel shampoo
Hello Heather,great video about these upgrades.i have a few of them myself, watching people like Paul Dolden details on TH-cam.
Cheers Steven!
Hi Heather. Great video, agree with pretty much all your recommendations. I would also recommend having a closer look at the Gyeon products like the new Wax, Can Coat, Quick View and Leather Shield.

4. Quickjack (saving up)
5. Custom lance on wheels to do underbody rinse (reseaching)
6. Thick shampoo I can spray through lance so I don't need to do 2 bucket wash (have my eyes on chemical guys sticky snowball that might do tge job but yet to be released in uk)
I use the Garage Therapy car shampoo through a lance most of the time and that works really well. I go for about a 1:9 ratio 😊
@@AutoCareHQ tjanks for the heads up , just watched your video on the shampoo seems very slick , what it like through a lance ? I didnt see any shots of it through a lance in your video.... does it come out foamy like snowfoam?
I'm using it on the video next Sunday actually but yep it's pretty foamy at that dilution. It's not super thick but it clings enough to get around it with the mitts
@@AutoCareHQ that's sound perfect , I tried bilt hamber shampoo in a lance and it was terrible!! too watery and zero cling and that was a higher dilution rate compared to using it in a bucket , I look forward to your video next week in the meantime keep detailing 🔥😎💪🏾
Great video. Check your Tyres they look cracked!
Had a listen to the podcast you were on recently, great back story on how you started
And how are you finding the R&D with GT?
Thanks for giving it a listen! It's going really well, the darkening effect is very impressive and the water repellency looks really strong. I've got it on a few panels of my car atm so just gonna keep monitoring it, but so far so good :)
@@AutoCareHQ 👌
Do you get marks from water running from the seal around the mirror seal where it connects to the car door on your mx5 . Looks like I might need to invest in a blower dryer
Yep it’s a real pain on this car for it! It’s was really annoying me before I got the dryer
@@AutoCareHQ and that's good enough for me to go order that blower next time I get my pocket money
Surprised you expected the c4 to fall off after a couple of months. I got about 8 years out of it on a daily driver before it faded again
I wasn't expecting it to go after a couple of months, I'm hoping to get 1-2 years out of it :)
Can you clarify please: when washing your car do you warm or cold water in you cannon, b jackets etc?
Good upgrades.👍
Thanks for watching!
I laughed when you said "and this video probably isn't going to help you with that problem" 🤣🤣💯👍 💚
Watching from western Canada
Haha I know I’m a terrible influence when it comes to buying car stuff 😂
Can you clarify please: when washing your car do you warm or cold water in you cannon, buckets etc?
Just cold water in everything
Great video
can you get me a link to that 1/4" qick disconect? look real super to use amd easy o.n the fingers
Brilliant stuff
Thanks for watching!
Is your karcher a k5 and does it serve you well? I have a k2 and is looking to upgrade but my budget is only enough to get one from the outlet
It's a K4 and it works very well for me. I got it from the outlet as well, there's a review on my channel :)
@@AutoCareHQ ok thank you, as I already have a longer flexi hose and stubby for the karcher, buying any other washer make means replacing that as well which is more expense
Congratulations 🎉 I like yours video 👍,I have mobile Car Detailing en Miami for 32 years I love me job
Have you very tried EZ car care? The full range is great value for money and still give great results, a future video idea? 💡
I've only tried their foam cannon and pH neutral snow foam but I haven't properly tested it though for cleaning power because I just used it over a citrus. Are there any products in particular you'd recommend?
@@AutoCareHQ their citrus pre wash is as good and any I’ve used, but if I were to pick one go to product it would be fusion spray and rinse sealant, it’s a product that detailing and the beast gave a good review of too. If your going to get some wait till their regular sales are on, can get 500ml for £7.50 ish
Same problem with the Nilfisk hoses, absolute garbage. The cheapest upgrade I've found is 70 odd quid, nearly a third of the cost of the machine. Next machine will be an AVA.
Bar the last two upgrades. That's pretty much what I'm after next. And with my birthday coming up you never know!??
I reckon you should start dropping some hints! 😂
@@AutoCareHQ
OK. If like a mjjc v2. Cheers :)
May I ask - is your accent from Lancashire or Yorkshire 😊
It’s a Lancashire one 😊
@@AutoCareHQ I knew you were a decent person...but now you're also from God's county too..... you're elevated to an even higher level 😊😊😊... us Red Rose's need to stick together
What country are you from
England :)
Great video! Thank you for sharing. You are very beautiful, by the way, if you haven't already been told this thousands of times. Even if you have, it still holds true. Haha.
Next upgrade;
Water filter from in2detailing. 0ppm water means you don’t even have to dry the car 👌🏼
Great video but I fear it's going to cost me money after seeing someone your upgrades 😂
What tyre dressing product were you using ?
Thanks for watching Tim! I'm using the Garage Therapy Tyre Serum :)
@@AutoCareHQ ok thanks
How i wish there is a detailing shop nearby our place like yours heather.. even if i would like to order from amazon or any.. the shipping would cost me more.. 😰😰😰
I'm definitely with you on the micro fibre mitts. I just feel much safer using them. Great list of upgrades there.
Cheers Peter!

Any chance you and @car cleaning guru are siblings 🤣
😂😂
Why not just buy a kranzle k10 TS and an mtm pf22.
I can’t justify the price atm, I already spend too much on chemicals 😂
@@AutoCareHQ I spent loads on cheap karchers. Only lasting about three years then go pop.
Oops... btw: grear video, as always; thank you!
Cheers Nick!
No matter how much you spend on car detailing products your car will not stay clean under normal conditions especially tyre dressings as your tyres are in contact with the road and get dirty quickly. Cars only stay shiny if you have them off the road, under cover in a garage etc & don't bother driving them. I learned many years ago that no matter how long you spend cleaning your car, it won't stay clear for long.
